Exploring city science
No full textThis chapter introduces and explores city science as a research practice, discourse, and possibly a research paradigm in its own right. City science is used here as a container term to refer to research that happens in, with, and for the city and which is transdisciplinary through all phases of the research process and potentially affects all phases of the policy process (Nevejan, 2018). This chapter aims to give evidence for the need to address city science as a research practice in which science, policy, and design merge in the local context of challenges that cities face in the twenty-first century with accelerating dynamics of climate change, financialization, and increasing inequalities worldwide. The focus of this exploration is on the research relations between European cities and European universities, with Amsterdam and the research into City Rhythm as case for detailed elaboration (Nevejan, Sefkatli & Cunningham, 2018

BIOGRAPHICAL / Historical Note: Twentieth-century novelist Caroline Gordon was born into the Kentucky line of the extensive Meriwether family in 1895. Exploration of the family's past and its evolution is a major theme of her fiction. She grew up at Merry Mont in Todd County, near Clarksville where she received her early education. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bethany College in 1916. Her father is the idealized subject of Gordon's second novel, Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), and the central character in her much-anthologized story, "Old Red." Gordon taught briefly; then, as a journalist, she became one of the first reviewers to comment favorably on a new Nashville-based magazine of poetry, The Fugitive. During the summer of 1924, Robert Penn Warren, a Todd County neighbor, introduced her to Allen Tate. Within a year they were married and living in New York City, where their daughter, Nancy Meriwether was born. With Tate, she began a period of life abroad, devoted to writing and sustained by various fellowships granted to one or the other. In London, Gordon was secretary to the influential British writer Ford Madox. In 1930 the Tates returned to the United States and settled in Clarksville in a house provided by Tate's brother Ben and called "Benfolly." Both Tates were exceptionally hospitable to friends and encouraging to younger writers. Both were prolific correspondents, generous with constructive criticism. (Gordon eventually became mentor to several writers, most notably Flannery O'Connor). Although she had to wrest time for her writing from domestic and social obligations, the eight Benfolly years were especially productive for Gordon, who published four novels and several stories before 1937. The first novel was Penhally (1931), followed by Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), None Shall Look Back (1937), and The Garden of Adonis (1937), studies of the southern family during the Civil War and Great Depression. Academic appointments of the 1940s took the Tates throughout the Southeast and to Princeton, where they established a home near their daughter, who married psychiatrist Percy Wood in 1944. During this time Gordon published her fifth novel, Green Centuries (1941). Her second related group of novels, The Woman on the Porch (1944), which deals with a troubled marriage, The Strange Children (1951), based on life at Benfolly, and The Malefactors (1956), is informed by her conversion to Roman Catholicism. She and her husband wrote The House of Fiction (1950), which was followed by Gordon's How to Read a Novel in 1957. Gordon lived in Princeton until 1973, teaching, and writing: The Glory of Hera (1972). An appointment in the creative writing program drew her to the University of Dallas (Gordon was 77 years old when she proposed the new creative writing program at UD). When her health began to fail in 1978, she moved to San Cristobal de las Casas in Chapas, Mexico, with her daughter and family. She died there on April 11, 1981.

City Science for Urban Challenges
Get PDFBetween January 2019 and July 2020, over 35 European cities formed
the City Science Initiative (CSI) to explore how the science-policy interface
operates in light of the emergent urban challenges and crises. It seems
that the impact of current national and EU funded research funded programs
needs to be enhanced for tackling cities urban challenges. This report
aims to inspire people in municipalities, universities, networks, different layers of government and the European Commission to develop a variety of
science-policy interfaces for handling of urban challenges in the near future.
The CSI pilot collaboration has brought together European small, medium
and large sized cities, different services of the European Commission, different networks of cities and funding programmes. The gathered City Science
Officers reflected on what they need and exchanged current practice and
insight. To bridge the existing gap between science and policy, new methodologies need to be developed in all phases of the research process. The
report argues that design as a discipline can help to build bridges, solutions
and communication strategies for such science-policy interfaces.
The CSI concludes that the science-policy interface needs to improve
significantly and soon. Cities are not rich and need to be efficient in how
they develop policy for making people’s living environment healthy and
safe. Collaboration between cities, facilitated by European institutions and
networks, is crucial for handling urban challenges and unanticipated
crises as also the COVID 19 pandemic indicates
